Georgie Porgie's digit (5)

I believe the answer is:

thumb

(Other definitions for thumb that I've seen before include "Pollex, in humans" , "Digit that enables grasping" , "Travel by getting free rides from motorists" , "Hitch-hiking digit" , "Tom, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
